DESCRIPTION
The Beacon has the potential to create a truly exceptional family home. An unassuming house at first glance, turn the corner through the gated side access and you will gasp at the beauty of the far reaching view.

The house offers huge potential with the opportunity to create a spacious home flanked by a magnificent English country garden. In a prominent location in the heart of this popular village, the property is accessed via a glass porch, leading to an inner hall with utility and pantry off. A good sized dining room leads through to the rear of the property where the full benefit of the stunning views are maximised. A spacious kitchen with fitted units and Aga opens into a glass panelled breakfast room, perfect for soaking up the panorama. A charming drawing room leads off the kitchen with central fireplace and high ceilings. Windows run almost the full length of the room and it is clear to see where once a door opened to the delightful cottage garden; this is a perfect light filled space, ideal for entertaining. At the opposite end of the house is a study, which again has the benefit of the far reaching views plus a cloakroom.
A broad stairwell with feature window on the landing, gives a sense of light and grandeur, opening to a good sized landing with 5 bedrooms leading off. There are three front facing double rooms, all with built in cupboards and wonderful views across the valley. There is a further double bedroom to the side of the property which overlooks the garden plus a single bedroom to the rear. There is also a family bathroom, separate WC and shower room. The real jewel however in The Beacon's crown lies in its grounds, with well stocked borders overflowing with english country flowers, a vegetable area and large patio, all of which are perfect for soaking up the magnificent far reaching valley views. Little paths meander around the garden, creating a magical haven for children to explore. The garden is enclosed with a plethora of dry stone walling around both the flower beds and the perimeter. A path leads to a romantic little side gate, with access to a footpath. There is ample parking for several cars on a gated drive plus garage and several sheds.

Black iron gates open to the driveway.

LOCATION
Amberley is a quintessential Cotswold village in an enviable location on the fringe of Minchinhampton Common. With a sought after village school and two popular pubs, both within easy walking distance of The Beacon, the village has a tremendous sense of community spirit. The surrounding Minchinhampton Common offers over 650 acres of National Trust land, ideal for dog walking and host to one of three challenging golf courses in the vicinity. In an elevated position, the village affords tremendous views across the Stroud valleys. One of the key draws to the area is the excellent choice of schools. Amberley itself has a sought after primary school and there are several excellent grammar schools in Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham, as well as a good choice of schools in the private sector, including nearby Beaudesert Park and Wycliffe in Stonehouse. London is within 2 hours by car or circa 90 minutes by train from nearby Stroud, which also has a large Waitrose plus other supermarkets. Closer still, are Minchinhampton and Nailsworth, both small market towns with a good range of independent retailers.
